I’m Kendra ⎯ I’m an artist who’s sold over 100k in online art sales and I know how overwhelming it can be to get started. I began selling my art from my tiny living room nook, to now sending art all over the world.
It has become my passion to help other artist reach their financial goals and learn how to share their work with the world.
-
After selling art online for over seven years, I realized something: talent isn’t what holds most artists back. It’s confusion. It’s the constant googling, the piecing things together, the pressure to do things “right.”
I created Studio to Sales to offer the clarity I wish I had when I started—so you can skip the spiral and start building a business that supports your creativity instead of draining it.
This isn’t a flashy system. It’s a grounded, proven framework rooted in real experience, built for artists who want to sell their work with heart and integrity.

Yes—100%. Most of my students don’t have thousands of followers. You don’t need to be internet-famous to sell your work.
What you do need is a message that resonates, a product that’s well-presented, and a system that helps people find (and buy) your work. That’s exactly what I teach inside Studio to Sales.
We’ll focus on strategy over scale—so you can connect with the right buyers, not just more followers.
-
This isn’t about going viral or turning your studio into a content machine.
Studio to Sales is honest, clear, and built from lived experience—not theory. I don’t just teach these strategies, I still use them in my own art business every day.
This is about creating a foundation that simplifies selling—without sacrificing your creative rhythm. No gimmicks. Just clear steps, strong foundations, and the tools to build something that lasts.
